A speech and "fireside chat" given by Boris Johnson earlier this week earned him more than twice his salary when he was prime minister. The $350,000 (£315,000) payday involved a 30-minute speech and a sit-down interview at the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers conference in Colorado on Tuesday.
People in attendance said he addressed topics such as his continued belief in Brexit, British support for Ukraine and the scepticism he used to have around global heating. He did not talk about the circumstances of his resignation as prime minister or the challenges facing Downing Street's latest occupant, Liz Truss, The Telegraph reports.
Mr Johnson's annual salary last year was £157,372. This combined his basic salary of £81,932 as an MP from 2021-22 with an additional £75,440 for his role as prime minister, according to government records.
